Hello!

Answer:

$\Large \boxed{\sf 2(3y -4)}$

Explanation:

→ We want to simplify:

$\sf 8y - 2(y+4)$

◼ Simplify parentheses:

We know:

$\sf x(a + b) = ax + bx$

$\sf 8y - 2 * y+ (-2) * 4$

◼ Simplify the expression:

$\sf 8y - 2y -8$

$\sf 6y -8$

◼ Factorize the expression:

We know:

$\sf ax - bx = x(a - b)$

$\sf 2 * 3y- 2 * 4$

$\boxed{\sf 2(3y -4)}$
